In November 2020, social media users began sharing a video that supposedly captured a man named Dr. Roger Hodkinson stating that COVID-19 was the “biggest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspected public” during a city council meeting in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Although this sort of claim can typically be dismissed out of hand (COVID-19 is not a hoax, and the coronavirus pandemic has resulted in more than 1.3 million deaths worldwide), social media users claimed that this person’s opinion was worth listening to since he was the “Chairman of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.”

This caller in question was not the Chairman of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, and that medical organization has released a statement distancing themselves from any association with his comments.
